Pistachip Fluff

Pistachio Fluff

It has been a whirlwind of a week! I just got back from a fantastic trip to Nashville. I had a lot of fun learning about White Lily flours and Martha White baking mixes. I ate so much! From pimiento cheese and griddle cakes to country ham and fresh biscuits! I ate nearly every hour - seriously. I'll tell you all about it in an upcoming post because I have a new, fun recipe to share that I made while there.

Anyhow, I came back and realized there was no food in my fridge. None. My family had come with me on the trip so no one had been home to do the grocery shopping. So, on Monday, amidst doing all the piled up laundry, putting away all of our things and getting caught up on work, I had to go to the store. Yay for me! I didn't make a list like I should have and ended up forgetting half the things I needed. I got the goods to make my Crock Pot Chicken & Gravy and I wanted something super simple to make for dessert. Cause I always gotta have dessert. I decided a simple fluff recipe was in order! I went old school on this one. Pistachio fluff has been around for ages. And it's a recipe I can remember off the top of my head. And hey, it's green! Green desserts are totally fun, right? We used to always just call it the Green Stuff but it also goes by Watergate Salad. So, I thought I would snap a few pictures while making it to be able to share with you this week! If you haven't made this - do it. Do it today!
